Easy way? What do you mean by that? Sociology doesn’t even have a basic axiom, it’s such an elusive thing.
Either be attentive and critical to the social constructs that surround you (if possible, it’s really hard to just observe, because many things we thing are natural, like inhereting your father’s name, not your mother’s), or start reading Max Weber, Karl Marx & Emile Dürkheim’s writings to get started.

Well, I prefer my Mom than my father, and I’ve been going by my Mom’s maiden name Johnson (as in “Dilly Johnson”) for a while now. Seriously!

Sorry if came through as judgy in my first comment. What territory of sociology interests you? Why do you want to learn more on the topic?
In the school where I was taught, one of the major directions was statistics. Harm reduction and drug policy also go under the umbrella. I really enjoyed the idea of mental maps, but that might’ve been the cultural anthropology class (which kinda bleeds over into the subject).

I said “socialist theory” (including Marxist theory), NOT sociology
